ByA Riverside County man on Monday paid tribute to his step-nephew, a firefighter who was shot and killed at a Pennsylvania rally for Donald Trump while using his body to shield family from gunfire.
Comperatore, a proud 50-year-old Trump supporter, died Saturday during an attempt to kill the former president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. At least two other people were injured: David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, according to the Pennsylvania State Police. Both were listed in stable condition as of Sunday.
"He is a firefighter and he knows his job is to save lives, and I think it was just instinct when he heard the shots -- he hits the ground and protects his loved ones," Fuhrham said. FBI investigators are looking into the background and motives of Thomas Matthew Crooks and how he was able to get on the roof to fire shots at Donald Trump.
